Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exa...

Despite the crucial role that phytochromes (Phys) play in light perception and in the entrainment of the circadian clock to local time, the photoperiodic regulation of PHYA and PHYB gene expression has been poorly studie...

The requirements elicitation phase of software development projects is characterised by the intensity and importance of communication activities. Requirements elicitation is a traditional exploratory phase in which conte...

Exposure to pesticides during infancy is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes. The assessment of knowledge and perception of pesticides exposure and risk among children has not been thoroughly studied. The ai...

This thesis describes the design and implementation of a mobile robot which is able to perform a structural interpretation of indoor environments, using only visual and proprioceptive sensory information. The desired beh...

Considering work instability as a contextual stressor we designed a specific instrument to assess how it is perceived by a group of psychologists: The Perceived Uneasiness in Work Instability - Psychologists Inventory (i...

Pigs display an innate preference for sweet taste compounds such as sucrose. However, the influence of sucrose supplementation into maternal diets has not been examined in pigs. We tested the hypothesis that sucrose incl...

In this paper we sketch an agent architecture suitable to be used as a tool for exploring agent perception and multiagent interaction. Nowadays, there is no strict correspondence between the theoretical work in rational ...

This paper imports the fuzzy logic into image retrieval to deal with the vagueness and ambiguity of human judgment of image similarity. Our retrieval system has the following properties: firstly adopting the fuzzy langua...

The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Since there is no universally accepted definition of intelligence, the notion of rational agency was proposed by Russell as an alternative for the ch...

For centuries, experimentation has been at the center of all successful scientific studies. Experimental explorations can offer new perceptions, weed out unproductive approaches and validate theories and practices. Compu...

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techn...

In this work we study the extraction of semantic objects from images together with a metric that ranks them according to their perceptual significance. To obtain an initial segmentation we use elements of mathematical mo...

Nowadays information circulates quickly in a human organization, what generates an internal difficulty in preserving inside the organization essential information to support decision-making. Decision Support Systems (DSS...
